    Default Jarrah Burl platters and a Jarrah Bowl

    Hello All
    I have not cotributed much as I have been extremely busy in addition to the heaps of wood turning I have just completed. Of all the platters I have done in the last 3 weeks, these are my favourites. They are both Jarrah burl and approximately 40cm across and finished with approximately 10 coats of Danish oil. The other 'bowl' is also Jarrah and finished in Danish oil. This 'bowl' was the result of having a couple of reds whilst turning (creative juices) and is a bit arty for me, but I do like the grain.
    Comments welcome
    Regards
    Willy

    First one is my favourite. Looks awesome.

    I like the shape of the jarrah bowl, but is it too heavy?

    Cheers,
    Dave

    another vote for the first one... and for me there isn't a hope in hell I would have even put the last one on the lathe at the stage I am at now

    Nice work Willy
    It's only a mistake if you don't learn from it.

    Well done all look really good

    I think my pick would be the last one for that real rustic quality
    and it can double as a colander
    Cheers Rum Pig

    It is easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

    Willy, I like them all too!

    My pick is the "plain" one, no burl but is seems a great shape. At least from 3000kms away.

    I don't drink red wine, but if that centre bowl is the result of one or two, this old girl may change tack. BEAUTIFULCheers,
